So you and the other MSFT Cheerleaders are to blame for my postings. The term "cheerleader" in this context is a conscious attempt to be derogatory and provocative. This is another example of your typical post. A person is responsible for his own actions and reactions. "He made me so mad I couldn't see straight so I beat him up" isn't a valid excuse. Don't blame your inability to control yourself and remain civil on others. But if those who post to me post with innuendos and insults then I have little choice but to talk down at that level. I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that someone was pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to post in the same manner as those who reply to you. I thought that you had the same ability to choose that I do. These Cheerleaders have big money to lose and they do not want posts like mine to scare any potential investor's confidence in MSFT. Its so blatently simple on what is happening on this board. Anyone, bull or bear, who thinks he has any effect on the price of MSFT by posting on this thread needs to have his head examined. My opinion is that most people post because they just want to hear someone else agree with them, validating their own beliefs. I am sorry if I have pure enjoyment in watering down the PomPom shaking postings that are found of this board. As I said, you enjoy the response you get and continue your provocation. At least you don't start your posts with the condescending "Oh dear" like you used to.

I guess the problem we have with you, Toy, is that you really believe what you just posted. At least start off by admitting that you hate Microsoft, Consider it an "Evil Empire", and would rejoice in its demise. You post here because you love an argument. You know that we have heard it all from you, but your lack of courtesy toward us, and your hatred of Gates, keeps you posting here in spite of anything we can do to discourage your presence. I know that MSFT will go down as one of the the greatest companies of this century, but I would not buy the stock, or sell it, for that reason. I am here to make money, and enjoy myself along the way. I, and the vast majority of the other people on this thread, have asked you to please stop annoying us. We have even gone to the extreme of starting other, off the subject, threads, just to get away from you and the few others like you. I don't consider you a "jach", or I would not bother posting to you. I know, from reading your posts, that I would probably enjoy talking with you on many subjects other than softy! Please show the normal civility I am sure you use on other subjects, and leave us alone. -LindyBill
